REDUCE OR ELIMINATE PAIN SAFELY

Pain Therapy | Chronic Pain Management

You don’t need to live with pain. Millions of Canadians suffer from chronic pain, and many are seeking alternative treatment methodologies to overused prescription medications that are now clinically proven to have significant side effects.
Low level laser is a non-invasive, non-toxic treatment methodology that is effective for numerous types of acute and chronic pain. The HealthPoint Laser system works by delivering billions of photons to the tissue surface driving this energy down to the damaged cells that require this energy for healing. Our Theralase® superpulsed laser is able to drive light energy up to 4” below the skin surface. Light energy of the correct wavelength (color) and power is able to dramatically increase the healing rate of damaged cells; thus allowing the body to heal itself at an accelerated rate. Pain is believed to originate from an ionic differentiation of potassium and sodium gradient across a cellular membrane. The Theralase® superpulsed laser with its 905nm near infrared technology has been clinically proven to be absorbed by the inter-lipid layer forming the cellular membrane of cells. The increase in cellular membrane permeability induced by the Theralase® laser system causes a re-absorption of sodium and potassium molecules thus removing the gradient and hence the pain signal.

Anti-Inflammation

Low level laser therapy has an anti-edemic [anti-swelling] effect as it causes vasodilation [dilation of the blood vessels], but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system.

Anti-Pain (Antalgic)

Due to less inflammation, there is less of an edema and thus less pain. Low level laser therapy stimulates the vasodilation and lymphatic drainage, which increases the re-absorption of pain-causing products. Low level laser therapy regulates the sodium-potassium pump (this pump maintains the potential across the membrane of a nerve cell, which leads to pain transmission signals) and thus removes the transmission of pain signals from this area.

Reviews

"I had been suffering with lower back discomfort and severe leg pain for over 1 1/2 years when I was introduced to laser as a form of pain control. I noticed some results after the first treatment and significant results after my eighth treatment. Thanks to Scott at HealthPoint Laser Clinic I now can enjoy an active lifestyle pain-free!"

“I had Plantar Fasciitis for 7 or 8 months. With the help of Scott at HealthPoint Laser Clinic, it is gone. It took about four treatments and after the first one, I had relief from the pain. I would strongly recommend this treatment to anyone suffering from pain. The treatment IS painless, so goodbye to pain and hello to walking again."

"I was suffering terrible pain from shingles. I was on so much pain medication that I could not work or function. The day after my first laser treatment I no longer needed the pills and was able to return to work. After four more treatments, the pain and rash were completely gone and have not returned. This treatment really works! Thank you HealthPoint."

"Late last summer I was diagnosed with tennis elbow. I tried several different wraps and braces then moved on to massage and chiropractic therapies. No amount of pain killers helped in the least bit. A friend suggested I try Scott's program and after the first treatment I was pain free. For the first time in months I had relief. I highly recommend Scott and HealthPoint Laser for natural, drug-free pain relief."
